Taken yesterday in my garden. I love flowers that come up year after year all on their own!
Still in catch-up mode. Look at them all; comment on a few that way I'll still be able to keep up with you! I truly appreciated everyone's support as I keep putting up 5 to 6 pictures at a time!
There is a kind of flower that doesn't?! I am a lazy gardner and that is all I ever work with. These are such beautiful delicate looking ones! Fabulous close up shot, Ann.
Thank you Katy, Skip, Teresa, Hope, Chris, Kathy, Diane, Maggie, Denise, Nicole, and Francesca!
And a special thanks to the three folks who fav'd it! Much appreciated!!
And for those who wondered (because I did too) this from the Canadian Wildlife Federation:
The bloodroot flower resembles a water lily and has 8–16 white petals around a golden yellow centre. There are two sepals that fall as the flower opens. The plant’s large, round leaves have several deep lobes.
Bloodroot gets its name from its underground stems, also called rhizomes, that contain a red juice. This also inspired its Latin name, Sanguinaria, which means bloody or blood red.
Always heartening to see plants reappear in the garden each year. Never heard of these. Such a pretty capture of the buds and some opening too. So delicate.
